My dear Daddy,
We are getting ready to go to Holland beside you. I am getting on very well at school. I had a test on History and Geography and General Information. My French is improving very much.
John has gone to Cornwall just now. He liked the stamps you sent him. We break up on Friday for Easter.
I am
your
loving
son,
Bill Bouman
